Sandhu widens lead over Giesbrecht in Vernon-Lumby following mail-in ballot count
VERNON — While mail-in and absentee ballots are not expected to play a role in the local Kamloops ridings where Ward Stamer and Peter Milobar were elected for the Conservatives, the seat is still up for grabs in Vernon-Lumby.
That’s where brief Kamloops-Centre candidate Dennis Giesbrecht was moved to after the demise of the BC United Party and Milobar’s switch to Tory blue.
More mail-in ballots for the provincial election have been counted, including those for the local riding.
ElectionsBC’s update at 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, showed that the Vernon-Lumby mail-in ballots were counted, and that the NDP Harwinder Sandhu’s lead increased with those counts.
